• Abstract: Symmetry-informed machine learning can exhibit advantages over machine learning which fails to account for symmetry. Additionally, recent attention has been given to continuous symmetry discovery using vector fields which serve as infinitesimal generators for Lie group symmetries. In this paper, we extend the notion of non-affine symmetry discovery to functions defined by neural networks. We further extend work in this area by introducing symmetry enforcement of smooth models using vector fields. Finally, we extend work on symmetry discovery using vector fields by providing both theoretical and experimental material on the restriction of the symmetry search space to infinitesimal isometries.

  We propose a novel generative model, Latent LieGAN, which can discover symmetries of nonlinear group actions. We show that our model can express nonlinear symmetries under some conditions about the group action. LaLiGAN also results in a well-structured latent space that is useful for downstream tasks including equation discovery and long-term forecasting.

  We develop a methodology for the simultaneous discovery of multiple nontrivial continuous symmetries across an entire labelled dataset. The symmetry transformations and the corresponding generators are modeled with fully connected neural networks trained with a specially constructed loss function. The two new elements in this work are the use of a reduced-dimensionality latent space and the generalization to transformations invariant with respect to high-dimensional oracles.

  We propose a new approach to learning arbitrary Bregman divergences in a differentiable manner via input convex neural networks. We show that our method more faithfully learns divergences over a set of both new and previously studied tasks. Our tests further extend to known asymmetric, but non-Bregman tasks, where our method still performs competitively despite misspecification.

• Machine-learning hidden symmetries [0.0]
  We present an automated method for finding hidden symmetries, defined as symmetries that become manifest only in a new coordinate system that must be discovered. Its core idea is to quantify asymmetry as violation of certain partial differential equations, and to numerically minimize such violation over the space of all invertible transformations, parametrized as invertible neural networks.
